Creativity and Play

Why Kids are so creative? How come they have so many ideas? How can they imagine crazy and wacky ideas?

The single most reason is that they don't care. They simply don't care about the judgment of their Ideas. Whereas adults do care about the judgment of their ideas by their peers.

Children incorporate playful activities in their daily life. Children love to play. Whereas most adults restrict themselves playing sports or with different objects. Children love to play with objects we use daily.

Children have access to most of the art accessories while they go to school. Whereas when they grow they loose access to glue stick, pencils, colors, tapes, drawing boards and more. So Children love to create and adults don't.

These and similar concepts Tim Brown Chief Executive Officer of IDEO, a firm with more than fortune 500 clients seeks design ideas, argues in this below embedded video featured on TED.com. I would rather call Tim as Chief Experience Officer of IDEO.

A Make Sure List For Every Meeting To Stay On Track

Image
Some projects last for a long period of time and lots of meetings are conducted to get the project done.  During those meetings lots of things are discussed.  Lots of decisions are being made and responsibilities being assigned.  At the same time not everything that was important gets accomplished.  It is because other priorities took over and that one thing which was important never got done.  And nobody bothered to revisit it. I think these things should be addressed before a meeting is even scheduled and agenda being formed.  This is a checklist of things that need to be done for past, present and future meetings.   This will make sure that we are in the control of the project.  I see past, present and future meetings’ to-do lists as color coded items.  It helps me in realizing the importance of each of them.  Please make sure about the following things for every meeting we schedule. Previous meetings ( Green ) Run through a checklist from last meeting about things that need

Preparing for Toledo Glass City Half Marathon

Image
New Year resolutions are tough but absolutely worth it.  Although this has been on many resolutions but now I have started taking care of my health since second week of January of 2012. It was not like I was not taking care of my health before but now I have a goal to reach. Earlier my goals didn’t materialize; this time I have something which I am shooting towards. Early in January I made a goal to run Toledo glass city half marathon which is going to be held on April 22nd 2012.  I didn’t knew how much was a half marathon but after searching on the internet I found out that it would take good 10 weeks to get trained for it.  Eventually I realized that it was 13 miles run.  So I made a goal and started running.  Every day since then I made a point to wake up early in the morning and go to gym.  Even if I was late I made a point to go to the gym.  No matter whatever happened. Initially I was not able to even run 5mins @ 3.5 mph.  I felt pathetic at that time.  Before starting the tr

Key Networking Feature: Sharing

Networking is about creating best friends forever who will advocate for you .  Let’s revisit some aspects of your friendship and see why that works great for both.   Let’s assume you have a fictitious best friend named Chris.  Now you receive a gold medal in 400 meters running race and call Chris immediately “ to share your happiest moment ”.  You just shared a part of your life and made Chris a part of your life.  Chris now feels important.  You are not feeling well and you need help and you call Chris.  Chris shows up and helps you out.  In return you always stand by him whenever he needs you.  You are always connected with Chris through email, phone, and home address and hang out together.  Whenever you are happy, sad, enlightened, or whatever you feel like sharing with Chris.  Now hold that thought for a second and ask this question to yourself, have you ever felt this way with some of your professional friends?  Have you shared anything with them that you felt was great?
